Playing The Fool

Originally released in January 1977, Playing The Fool captured Gentle Giant at the peak of their live performance prowess

Now, over 45 years later, the beloved live album has been re- imagined, mixed and mastered, bringing a fresh level of clarity and depth to the Gentle Giant live experience.

Produced by Dan Bornemark, who has worked extensively with the band on archival projects, The Complete Live Experience captures the full scope of the band's artistry as they were meant to be heard, including restored in-between-song commentary, band introductions and authentic venue ambience. It features the complete full original setlist, plus three unreleased tracks -- 'Interview', 'Timing' and Ray Shulman's solo violin feature. 

Intro / Just the Same / Proclamation / On Reflection / Interview / The Runaway / Experience / Sweet Georgia Brown (Breakdown in Brussels) / So Sincere / Excerpts from Octopus / Band Introduction / Funny Ways / Timing / Violin Solo / Free Hand / Peel The Paint / I Lost My Head
